Jean Grey returns to Earth in new series by Jed MacKay + Rogê Antônio

The Phoenix spins out of DNX into a five-issue miniseries in November.

Jean Grey is coming back to Earth, and she’s bringing the Phoenix with her. Marvel has announced Jean Grey, a new five-issue miniseries from Jed MacKay and Rogê Antônio that will land in November.

The series picks up directly from the events of the upcoming DNX crossover, which MacKay is writing with artist Federico Vicentini. MacKay will also bring Jean Grey back to the X-Men.

“More than anything, it felt like it was time—Jean coming into X-Men was largely precluded by the Phoenix series that was running when we launched, and even after that wrapped, I continued to hold off on it until the time seemed right,” MacKay told AIPT. “After all, adding the Phoenix to your team book throws off the balance in a pretty dramatic way. Now, post-DNX, we’re going to see the X-Men in a position to need Jean Grey—and Jean Grey in a position to need the X-Men. Dovetailing that into this moment being one where Jean is in the public consciousness more than she has previously just worked.”

Lady Baltimore returns in new series by Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden + Bridgit Connell

‘Lady Baltimore: The Constant Death of Dr. Rose’ sends Sofia Valk into a supernatural battle involving ghosts, Nazis, witches and her deceased friend.

Dark Horse Comics has announced Lady Baltimore: The Constant Death of Dr. Rose, a new three-issue series from Baltimore co-creators Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden, with art by Bridgit Connell. The series, which also features colors by Michele Madsen, lettering by Clem Robins and covers by Abigail Larson, kicks off in December.

The new series continues the story of Sofia Valk, the widow and confidant of Lord Baltimore who took up his mantle in 2021’s Lady Baltimore: The Witch Queens. Following the events of 2025’s Lady Baltimore: The Daughters of Medusa, Sofia travels to a remote town that has reportedly been devastated by a terrifying monster — who is also Lady Baltimore’s friend, the deceased Dr. Rose.

“From the first issue of Baltimore until we don’t tell these stories anymore, this is all one world—one story,” Golden said. “To us, Dr. Rose was a courageous ally and stalwart friend to Lord Baltimore, who met a horrifying end. But to the Nazis and the evil witches they’ve teamed up with, Dr. Rose’s terrifying transformation makes for a devastating weapon. Sofia—Lady Baltimore—can’t let her old friend be used that way, no matter what it costs her to put a stop to it.”

Hell for the holidays: Dark Horse announces ‘Hellboy in Hell: Parade of Horrors’ for December

Mike Mignola and Márk László reunite for a two-issue series that sends Hellboy to the Devil’s funeral.

Dark Horse Comics has announced Hellboy in Hell: Parade of Horrors, a new two-issue series by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and artist Márk László, with colors by Dave Stewart and letters by Clem Robins. The series launches in December and immediately follows Hellboy in Hell: Nothing But Blood, which kicks off in October.

The series reunites Mignola with László, who previously worked with the creator on Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Time is a River.

“I hadn’t planned to return to Hellboy’s HELL — I certainly didn’t think I’d ever let anyone else in there. But I love Márk’s work, and when we met he said he wanted to do a story set there. Well, how could I say no?” Mignola said. “Fortunately, there were a couple big holes between the chapters I’d drawn and I thought Márk would have fun with those two dead soldiers we meet in ‘The Three Gold Whips’ — and he did! I only gave him a rough outline for a story, and he took it from there. And as things took shape, we found a place to introduce a bit more of the history of the place. Every time I think we are done with this thing it seems we find there are just a few more bits and pieces to explore, which I guess is a good thing.”

The Rip Kirby comic strip ran from 1946 to 1999. An ex-marine, Rip Kirby was Raymond’s return to the comics page after the artist returned from World War II. The strip set itself apart from the hard-boiled detectives of its era, with Kirby solving cases through intelligence, scientific reasoning and observation, an approach that helped redefine crime fiction and left a lasting mark on newspaper strips.
